It was nothing short from a beautiful, summer, fun-filled wedding day at The Island Creek Oyster Bar, in Burlington, MA. It was the perfect place for Jeff + Kristin to host all of their loved ones  in an intimate, beautiful, cool setting.  Everyone was well taken care of by the amazing service the staff provided the delicious food that was served throughout the evening. The little details + hydrangeas added such simple + beautiful touches to the space. There was so much tangible love that you felt from Kristin + Jeff’s guests. I’ve never seen so many smiles from so many people attending a wedding!

It was so fitting that Kristin would have her 3 sisters and all of her nieces + nephews be apart of the wedding. Their close-knit, family bond is so evident + beautiful to witness. It was clear that the most important part about the day was who surrounded them + making sure everyone felt loved + cared for.

Kristin had so many beautiful bridal details!

The details on her wedding dress were absolutely stunning.

Makeup done by the lovely Bellisima MUA Kristin’s grandmother’s ring means so much to her. Kristin, you looked so gorgeous! Your eyes are amazingly beautiful.

Then it was time to check in with Jeff as he was getting ready; putting on his final touches.

That’s why you have a best man. Who else will help straighten out your bow tie?

Looking sharp Jeff!  The  joy on your face when you are about to see your bride! Simply breathtaking. Kristin was ready for their first look, so I brought her out to where Jeff was eagerly ready see his beautiful bride!

You can’t desire a better reaction than that! I melted… So sweet seeing them have a few minutes of just intimate time together before the eventful day unfolded.

So beautiful!!! I just loved seeing the big smiles on their faces.

Kristin was surrounded by her gorgeous bridesmaids; her 3 sisters + 4 beautiful nieces!  The hydrangeas were such a beautiful, simple, + perfect touch for their summer wedding!

You of course have to sing, “We’re going to the Chapel + we’re going to get Married” while you are on your way to your wedding ceremony!

So beautiful how they transformed the dining space into the ceremony site.

Here comes the Bride… The moment we all anticipate! Ahh, the tears!

Such a beautiful ceremony, there were multiple close loved ones who shared beautiful words about marriage + their relationship.

So sweet.  Love the way he looks at her.  That dress! Kristin, I’m not sure you could have picked a more perfect one for you.  So much beauty + joy through out the whole time, especially during their vows..

Officially Mr. + Mrs.!!!

Some beautiful family portraits… Kristin’s loving parents.

The beautiful couple with Jeff’s parents.

Of course Kristin needed to have a photo with all of her nieces + nephews; 5 girls + 5 boys! There is no doubt she is the favorite auntie!  And obviously, a picture of the whole “Struck” gang.  It was only necessary for them to get some time alone before the fun reception began!

Such a beautiful couple! The details on this dress, SO GORGEOUS!!

Time for the lovely couple to be showered with love + begin to have a ton of fun with all of their guests!  The restaurant’s ceremony site was transformed into such a beautiful set up for the reception!

Everything looked simply amazing! Welcoming the Mr. + Mrs. !

They of course had everyone join them on the dance floor for a little bit!

Time for the amazing food + dessert!

Time for the speeches! The Best Man, giving his thoughtful words + the toast! Kristin’s sister Julie, giving the Matron of Honor speech. She had us all laughing! It was so sweet to hear a few heart felt words from Kristin’s father, followed by Jeff’s mother.  Then it became time for the party to officially begin, starting with Kristin throwing her bouquet to her nieces!

Yayyy Braden!

So sweet seeing them dance with their parents.  Bride’s dancing with their father gets me every time!

Let the real dancing beginnnnn!  All of the guests were on the dance floor! It was so much fun.  Everyone had such a great time!

Of course her nieces + nephews were the life of the dance party!

I’ve never seen a wedding where all of the guests were up + on the dance floor. It was so great! But of course, the final special dance had to be the…. HORA!!!

Kristin + Jeff,

Thank you so much for letting me be apart of your special day! I’m so grateful I was able to still capture it in time before having my baby girl. Thank you for being so gracious with me. Everything turned out soooo beautifully + it was amazing to see your wedding day truly display you guys best as a couple.

I hope you both are enjoying this time together, officially as husband + wife! I pray many blessings over your families + marriage.

Much joy,

Charity HOPE
